This week, we started our new topic – Farming.
We began by thinking about what we already knew and then came up with questions about things we’d like to find out. So far, we have explored the types of farming that occur in Scotland and where they happen, looked at seasonal calendars to find out how farming in Scotland changes throughout the year and have begun to look at where our food comes from.
For a homework task, Miss McLaughlin set us the challenge of looking for food labels to show us where our food came from. We found some products could be grown/farmed here and many had to be imported in from other countries. We think that this might be because our climate makes it hard to grow things like bananas, coffee and pineapples.
We also used atlases to look for the countries found on our food labels. It’s amazing how far food can travel! We are going to start thinking about the good and bad things about importing food into the country.
Below are super examples of homework and class work from Kristina and Lauren.
Until next time…
